WHY BOOKING A FOOD TOUR WITH GRECOPATHS?Instead of finding the best shops-restaurants from Trip-Advisor

First of all, your tour escorts on this tour, as well as on the other tours offered by Grecopaths, are locals. They have lived their whole lives in this area that you are visiting for the first time. Whatever the internet says, locals have the first say.

We don’t only go to shops-restaurants with you; we will take you to the homes of Greeks to experience the Greek hospitality, their customs and traditions from nearby. You will have authentic conversations with the house owners, they will treat you and feed you with what they have and what they eat themselves during the day.

The Chef-expert on the gastronomic tours of Grecopaths has access to all the kitchens of the shops-restaurants that we visit. For this reason you will be certain of the best quality of all the products that have been used and of the styling of your plate as well (food style).

Walking through town with your tour escort will give you the opportunity to learn a lot about the city of Nafplio and its highlights, but also to develop other topics of discussion: about their daily life, other local activities, events that are organized in town and surrounding villages by local operators, depending on your time of visit.

Depending the season, the hour (morning or evening hours), your eating habits/food restrictions, the number of persons, the season, we will adjust the menu, as well as the walking tour, so you can enjoy to the fullest exactly that what you want.

We are flexible, as during our food tour it has happened that our visitor wants to increase the hiking route and minimize the food or vice versa. No stress, everything is possible, you are on vacation, don’t forget it.

We know all the shop owners very well on personal level and we help the local economyby giving an income to the financially most “weak“, having off course the standard quality that we request for you.

Food is the best way to learn about the mentality and culture of people. Drink to your health and play a game that the ancient Greeks played at their symposiums!

Did we convince you??!

Welcome to the world of Grecopaths gastronomical experiences!

Nafplio food tour

About Nafplio city…

One of the most beautiful towns in the area of Argolis (in eastern Peloponnese) as well as one of the most romantic cities all over Greece, Nafplio was the first capital of the newly born Greek state between 1823 and 1834.

According to mythology, the town was founded by Náfplios, the son of god Poseidon and the daughter of Danaus (Danaida) Anymone. The town’s history traces back to the prehistoric era when soldiers from here participated in the Argonautic expedition and the Trojan War.The town declined during the Roman times and flourished again during the Byzantine times. Frankish, Venetian and Turkish conquerors left their mark in the town and strongly influenced its culture, architecture and traditions during the centuries. Ancient walls, medieval castles, monuments and statues, Ottoman fountains and Venetian or neoclassical buildings mesmerize the visitor with their unique architecture and beauty.

An original experience for everyone to enjoy.
Learn the history behind the flavors of Nafplio, taste the famous delicacies, walk through the old markets, and discover every hidden corner of the old city of Nafplio.
A complete tour that brings the lost, unknown tastes into light.

By far the best tour we’ve had in Greece. We did the walking food tour with Stavroula, an incredibly friendly and knowledgeable guide. Touring a city with a local makes all the difference; we went to places we never would have found on our own. Stavroula and team went above and beyond to ensure we had a great day. We learned about the history of Nafplio and ate incredible food (both in quality and quantity). Aside from the tour, we were impressed with Grecopath’s efforts to support local businesses and artisans. We felt like we were getting a true Nafplio experience.Can not recommend this company more. If we had another day here, we would do another tour! This is definitely an experience we will rave about for years to come.

Tripavisor,“History and food tour” Visited July 2017

Wanting a tasting experience that only a local could provide, we hired Grecopaths. Owner and founder Stavroula personally led our tour. Our 3.5 hour tour was really much longer than that and we experienced Nafplio in a way we could never have done on our own. Stavroula is so engaging and personable – it was hard to see the tour end. We felt as if we were saying goodbye to a great friend. The food and drink was superb and the business owners of the establishments went out of their way to greet, sit with us and share their love of food. An amazing day!

Tripadvisor,“Best eating day ever!” Visited March 2017

We had a wonderful time on this food tour. My husband and I were the only ones. We stopped at 5 different places for tasting and were able to meet the owners and visit with them. Learned a lot about the foods we tried and Greek culture and life. The walk also included a very scenic path near the water and a church. One stop included coffee at a locals home. Fantastic experience, a highlight of our trip.

Tripadvisor ,“Perfect way to spend the day in Nafplio.” Visited May 2016

When I was in Naflpio, I decided last minute to take the Food tour through the town. Stavroula was kind enough to accomodate me, event though I literally sent her an email past midnight and she arranged a tour (just for me) at 9:30 in the morning! I need to emphasise that during this tour Stavroula together with Panagiotis treated me like a friend visiting their town and together we had a great time.

To start off the tour was suppose to last 3 hour, instead we were out and about for more than 5 hours. It could have been because of the mulled wine + tsipouro we enjoyed and was part of the tour. During the tour Stavroula provided me with information about Naflpio, including lots of interesting historic facts. Panagiotis being the culinary specialist had always alot of insightful information about food and drink.

The tour extended over visiting local shops, where the owners either produce and/or import local goods, where one could try cheese/cured meat or speciality sauces. I personally enjoyed interaction with the locals, since all of them had interesting backgrounds and were genuinely interested in making conversation.

Furthermore my highlight was when we visited a restaurant in the end and I expressed an interest to get a short cooking lesson in Greek cuisine! Stavroula was happy to arrange this and soon as she spoke to Dimitra, the owner of the Greek restaurant, I found myself wearing an apron and making tomatokeftedes & kolokithokeftedes. After enjoying our cooking among other delicious dishes he restaurant had to offer, I wondered how 5 hours had gone by.

This was really a wonderful tour and I would like to thank Stavroula and Panagiotis. Their enthusiasm and energy goes far beyond any levels I have experienced in other tours in the past and their passion & pride of Greek food & culture will captivate anyone visiting!

Tripadvisor , “Nafplio food tour was amazing and much more than one would expect!’ Visited November 2015

Grecopaths is an awesome tour guide company.The team is extremely knowledgable on the Argolida region and beyond.This is the key factor that made our experience with them so great.Grecopaths lead me and my wife to experiences we never would have found on our own. We did several different tours with them over the course of two days. Day one was a food tour in Nafplio. The day started with an awesome walk near the water to work up our appetites.Then, our guides lead us to several local and authentic shops and restaurants around Nafplio. Highlights included a behind-the-scenes look at pasta-making, fresh yogurt, biscuits, greek coffee, meats and cheeses, wine, tsiporou, and a delicous lunch. Besides the tastings,the tour gave us a deeper historical and cultural understanding of Nafplio and Greek culture in general. The best part, though, was the awesome people who welcomed us with warmth and first-class hospitality.Grecopaths also lead us on a tour of an old, secluded monastery, a~3500 year old olive tree, swimming around sunken ancient ruins, an olive farm including tastings, and other sites that they shared with us that were not even on our itinerary. Again, their friendliness, professionalism, and knowledge of the region is what made our tours with Grecopaths priceless. They connected us to the heart of Greek culture.

If you’re visiting Nafplio or the Argolida region, a tour with
Grecopaths is simply a must.

Tripadvisor , “Awesome experiences”’ Visited May 2015

The food tour made 5 stops while strolling through Nafplio with our knowledgable, engaging, and accommodating guide, Stavroula. From learning how to make Greek coffee, to enjoying scrumptious baked goods, mezes, and souvlaki, all the food was wonderful. We hardly had room for the last stop of ice cream, but it was incredibly yummy as well. The tour was perfectly planned and fun. It was a great introduction to beautiful Nafplio. I highly recommend Grecopaths.
